Where: Living History Farms, Interstate 80 & Hickman Road, Urbandale, Iowa
Be a part of the “Largest Cross-Country Race in North America”.
You will be challenged by the world’s richest farm land as you wade through creeks, avoid farm animals and claw your way to the top of gullies with over 7,500 (limit) other runners of questionable senses. It’s a great way to end the racing season and experience running stories to relive throughout the winter.
Stay for the “outdoors in November” post race refreshments, door prizes and awards ceremony.

I wish I could make this year’s race and have loved running it in the past. Don’t expect a good time but do expect to get wet and dirty. There is also great food after so bring an extra set of clothes to change into, especially if it is cold out. Most runners wear costumes or something they normally wouldn’t wear. Oh, and try climbing the hay bales.
